my son doesn’t want to go to school tomorrow - what should I do?

Take the day off and go have fun with your son.

rocker

Do you have a 12+ year old boy?

Division Bell

I don’t. But I’ve worked at DCFS and in adolescent psych units.

Until the official "How to be a parent" manual comes out, I don't mind advice.
